Li Wujiang had never met Zhuang Wujian.
However, her understanding of Zhuang Wujian far surpassed that of Su Zui and the others.
In fact, Li Wujiang knew how terrifying that woman was even better than Su Nanyin.
This was because after Li Wujiang became the chief of the highest security, she had access to top-tier classified files.
One of these files was dedicated to recording globally renowned dangerous individuals.
Yamaoka Masaki, who had now taken refuge with Shen Yue, and Roman from Longxu, were all individuals on that file.
This constantly updated danger file contained information on dangerous individuals, which had been meticulously compiled after repeated consultations among the most authoritative figures.
And Zhuang Wujian—
Was the number one most dangerous individual on the top-tier danger file!
This illustrated just how high her danger coefficient was.
However, Li Wujiang, and everyone who had accessed this file, believed she was already dead.
After all, thirty years had passed without any news of her.
But who could have imagined—
After hearing Su Nanyin’s account, even Li Wujiang, who was the world’s top expert, was shocked.
What followed was a string of curses directed at her “孽子” (prodigal son/miscreant).
But what use was that?
Li Qianfan had already breached the outer defense zone of the Blackwater Forest. Once the enemy stopped searching, he would begin his move.
Before he single-handedly rendered the enemy’s outer defense system completely inoperable, that lengthy kilometer remained a death zone for all experts.
Even if Li Wujiang promptly changed her operational plan and personally led the team to the eastern front, she could only watch helplessly.
“Stop cursing, it’s useless.”
Su Nanyin, annoyed by her curses, asked, “Just tell me, what should we do now?”
Li Wujiang blurted out, “Damn it, how the hell should I know?”
Su Nanyin: “He’s your son! You absolutely must come up with a solution.”
Li Wujiang retorted, “He’s your family’s man too!”
Su Nanyin—
The situation was dire, and she had no time for bickering with Li Wujiang. She said solemnly, “Should we inform Longxu? Or invite the seniors from Emperor’s Valley or Loulan to come out of seclusion?”
“Longxu cannot be mobilized, that’s a bottom line.”
Li Wujiang also calmed down and said, “If the seniors from Emperor’s Valley and Loulan come out, it will inevitably trigger the defensive mechanisms of the Western Regions, and the War Emperor’s Divine Hall must respond by sending people to intercept. If that happens, it will only put Athena in a difficult position.”
Su Nanyin asked, “Are we just going to watch Qianfan face the most terrifying enemy alone?”
Li Wujiang remained silent.
Su Nanyin asked again, “Do you think I should go to Misty Village?”
Thirty years ago, it was Misty Village that caused Zhuang Wujian to leave for Africa.
Now that she had returned, and the experts within Misty Village had once again emerged, it seemed a fitting response.
“No.”
Li Wujiang decisively rejected the idea. “I fear Zhuang Wujian might be employing a feint. She might have already infiltrated Lingnan, waiting for the experts of Misty Village to head to the Blackwater Forest. This way, she could take advantage of the situation to invade Misty Village. If that happens, it will be too late for regrets.”
In fact.
These were things Li Wujiang had considered when Su Nanyin asked about mobilizing the people of Misty Village.
Knowing it was not feasible, she still asked.
This was enough to prove that Su Nanyin was also somewhat flustered.
“Guanyin, you don’t actually need to worry too much about Qianfan’s safety.”
Li Wujiang said slowly, “His 209 has already been activated. Even if Zhuang Wujian truly appears in the Blackwater Forest, and they clash, even if Qianfan is no match for her, he can still retreat unharmed. With his immunity to cold as an advantage, he can hide in the snow at any time. At worst, he would be captured alive. What else could happen?”
“What do you mean I don’t need to worry too much about the little brat’s safety?”
Su Nanyin was somewhat displeased. “You are his biological mother. I should be the one saying that to you.”
“Alright.”
Li Wujiang said, “At this point, you’re still nitpicking with me, it’s truly pointless.”
Sigh.
Su Nanyin sighed and cautiously said, “Are you sure the worst outcome for Qianfan is being captured alive?”
Li Wujiang fell silent again.
“If only it were within the country,” Su Nanyin uttered a helpless remark, and then said, “I suggest we proceed according to the original plan. After all, Junlin is also rushing over. She and Qianfan have long known that Zhuang Wujian is an extremely dangerous individual. Therefore, both Qianfan and Junlin will surely be fully psychologically prepared.”
“You’re right. We absolutely cannot lose our composure because of some damn War Demon God Hall.”
Li Wujiang also said fiercely, “Whether it’s a horse or a mule, we have to lead it out for a test!”
As the two chief managers of Dark Blade reached an agreement, the sky on the eastern side had already dawned.
Su Nanyin walked into the courtyard and looked up at the sky, pacing back and forth for more than ten minutes.
She said to Su Zui, “Maomao, call Uncle Kui and Su Xin over.”
Su Xin and Uncle Kui were in the front courtyard.
Soon, they arrived before Su Nanyin.
“Uncle Kui, you lead the brothers to ensure Maomao’s safety. Regarding the pharmaceutical factory, as long as there are no major disturbances, don’t worry about it for now.”
Before Su Nanyin finished speaking, Su Zui understood, “Mom, are you going on a long trip?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to the Blackwater Forest?”
“Am I going there to deliver my head?”
Su Nanyin glared at her and instructed Su Xin, “Go and get ready, we’re leaving immediately.”
Su Xin acknowledged with a sound and quickly turned to leave.
Su Nanyin took out her phone and called Dark Blade’s third team: “Huzi, in half an hour, we’re going to Tianlong and cross the Longjiang River! Also, spread the word that Li Wujiang is leading the team.”
Su Zui was stunned.
Then, she suddenly understood, “Mom! You can’t use Aunt Wujiang’s name to go to the Longjiang River! It’s too dangerous!”
Su Nanyin ignored her, only instructing Uncle Kui that when she was away, he must ensure Maomao’s (the pharmaceutical factory) safety and absolutely not let certain people get access to the company’s highest secrets (the special medicine to curb the Guanyin worm, its composition, and production process).
After Uncle Kui agreed, he took his leave.
“Mom—”
Su Zui hugged Su Nanyin’s arm and shook it forcefully, “You absolutely cannot use Aunt Wujiang’s name to cross the Longjiang River! The Dark Net and even people from abroad will swarm over once they get the news.”
Su Nanyin smiled.
She gently stroked Maomao’s cheek, “Maomao, besides putting myself in danger to attract the enemy and reduce the pressure on Qianfan, do you think I have any other options?”
“But—”
“No buts.”
Su Nanyin interrupted her and said calmly, “With the main market unable to move, my playing the role of Li Wujiang to go to the Longjiang River to attract as many enemies as possible is undoubtedly the most cost-effective approach.”
After speaking, she turned and quickly returned to her bedroom to change.
“How did things turn out like this out of the blue?”
Su Zui stood there dumbfounded for a moment, and as she stomped her foot, she suddenly started to retch.
She quickly bent over—
After a long while, she finally felt a little better and took out her phone to try calling Du Junlin again.
She hoped her younger sister would turn on her phone.
Upon receiving her message, she could return to defend their mother in time.
But Du Junlin’s phone was still off.
Sigh!
Su Zui stomped her foot again and could only call Shen Chongchong.
Although Chongchong was useless—
Having a useless daughter accompany her when Su Nanyin personally took the lead would make her feel much better.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Chongchong, who was currently abroad, asked curiously after receiving Su Zui’s call.
Su Zui got straight to the point, “Chongchong, are you in Qingyun right now?”
“Yes.”
Shen Yun hesitated for a moment and lied with open eyes, “I’m in my dorm, just woke up.”
“Qianfan has encountered a major problem in the Blackwater Forest. To attract the enemy’s attention, our mom has decided to pretend to be Aunt Wujiang, who is currently abroad, and cross the Longjiang River, creating the impression that she’s going to the Blackwater Forest.”
Su Zui said in a low voice, “Although I know there’s no point in telling you this, I feel you have the right to know.”
“Mom is coming, no, she’s faking going to the Blackwater Forest?”
Shen Yun, who was already approaching the town of Las, immediately frowned and looked out the car window at the road ahead.
Su Zui replied, “Yes.”
Shen Yun asked, “Do you want me to accompany Mom to the Longjiang River?”
Su Zui—
She sighed softly, “Alas, Chongchong. You should stay in Qingyun. Right now, Qingyun is the safest place. Alright, that’s all.”
Beep.
The call ended.
Shen Yun frowned and jumped out of the car.
She didn’t know about Zhuang Wujian.
But she believed Su Zui’s words.
That Li Qianfan was in grave danger!
Logically, at such a time, she should be rushing to the Blackwater Forest.
The problem was her mother—
She was actually going to impersonate Li Wujiang and cross the river to attract the enemy!
One side was her brother.
The other side was her mother.
Who should Shen Chongchong choose?
She hesitated in front of the car for more than ten seconds, then quickly got back in.
After starting the car, she swiftly turned it around.
The sun rose!
Yao Dongping kept refreshing his videos, hoping to see the latest news about Li Qianfan.
None.
“Actually, that little scoundrel’s tragic fate was sealed the moment he charged into the defense zone. Why should I worry?”
Yao Dongping chuckled lightly.
If it weren’t so early in the morning, he would have invited his friends for a drink to celebrate!
Buzz buzz buzz.
His phone rang.
Yao Dongping answered, “Old Ghost, what’s up?”
Old Ghost, Yao Dongping’s subordinate, was originally a ruffian and was now in charge of a testing point.
“Brother Ping.”
Old Ghost said mysteriously, “I just got news. Li Wujiang, who retired some time ago, is heading to the Blackwater Forest for that little scoundrel’s matter!”
“She’s also going to the Blackwater Forest?”
Yao Dongping’s eyes lit up.
He thought he could pass this information to Lebert, who was sent by International Ruixue to replace Ron in the Eastern Regions!
